Chapter 14: Disappearance
For several days in a row, I saw the Thirteenth Master going out early and returning late every day, and I knew that he must be looking for Xinyan like crazy, and I was fine, just walking on the street, maybe Xinyan would sneak to find me.
I was thinking about it with a frown, when I saw a crowd of people over there, I leaned over to take a look, isn't this a portrait of Xinyan? Bounty or thousand taels of gold, what is it for? Why make such a big fuss.
I immediately walked back and came to the Fourth Master's Mansion. "Shu Qiao." The fourth master saw that I was running in such a hurry, so he stopped me, "Are you going to find the thirteenth brother?" ”
"Well, the fourth master, the thirteenth master is actually wanted for Xinyan, she did this, what if Xinyan really has something to do at that time, what if she is arrested and injured?"
"I have already persuaded the thirteenth brother, but he still insists." The fourth master also said helplessly, it seems that the fourth master also disagrees.
"It's inconvenient for the fourth master to do it, I can go and wake him up." I am determined to go to the Thirteenth Master.
"Wait a minute, you also understand the thirteenth brother, Mo Xinyan will leave by himself, but he also took Nuan'er away, as a father, the thirteenth brother will inevitably be impulsive." The fourth master and the thirteenth master said good things.
It doesn't make sense to me, what is the reason to take Nuan'er away?
"And I instructed the people below not to be rude to Mo Xinyan, just report your whereabouts." Fourth Master.
"Okay, I hope time can make the Thirteenth Master think clearly, don't be so decisive." I sighed and said.
The Fourteenth Master followed the Ninth Master out to play, and the Fourteenth Master joked: "This Shu Qiao is really generous, and the dowry he gave to his friends exceeded the dowry given by the Tenth Brother." ”
"She is a person who is righteous and squandering money, she is better to her friends than to herself, and the tenth brother has made a lot of money this time, and she will be happy in her dreams." The ninth master said with a smile.
"Brother Jiu, you also gave a lot this time." The fourteenth master looked at the ninth master, probably because of Shu Qiao's relationship, he would be so generous.
"The tenth brother is my brother, of course he has to be generous." The Ninth Master thought of an old-fashioned reason and said.
"That's okay, I remember this sentence, next time I get married, you can be more prepared." Fourteenth Master.
"Are you still married? This wife is about to overtake me, right? The Ninth Master looked at him in disbelief.
"Are you kidding? Why take it so seriously. The Fourteenth Master said with a grin
The ninth master shook his head and ignored the fourteenth brother.
"Ninth Master, long time no see." Xueyi was already waiting for the ninth master in the lobby.
The ninth and fourteenth masters looked up and were frightened.
"You ......" The Fourteenth Master was a little dumbfounded.
"Don't you recognize me?" Xueyi is also wearing a clear suit.
"Isn't this Princess Xueyi?" The ninth master admitted that he had a delusion at the beginning, and thought it was......
"Princess Xueyi is dressed in a clear dress, she really looks like Shu Qiao." The Fourteenth Master spoke quickly.
That's right, it's like.
"It's right, if it's not, I'm afraid that the Ninth Master won't take me here." Xueyi sat down with a swagger.
"Brother Jiu, you're back." When Shilan heard that the ninth master had returned, she happily left her job in the tailor shop again.
"Girl, why are you running so fast?" The Ninth Master looked at it with a smile on his face.
"Oh, I'm just bored, I'm here to play with you." Shilan's small eyes shone brightly. "Fourteenth master."
"You know me?" The Fourteenth Master was a little surprised.
"I've had the pleasure of meeting them before." Shilan said happily.
Then he turned his head and happily ran over and grabbed Xueyi's hand: "Sister Qiao, you are here too." “
"You are?" Xueyi really doesn't know.
"Huh?" Shilan was a little puzzled.
"This is Shu Qiao's good friend, Shilan." Jiu Ye walked over, and then said to Shilan, "She is Shu Qiao's twin sister. ”
"Oh." Shilan took her hand back.
"Let's go, I'll invite you to eat at the Crane Tower." The Ninth Master said to them with a smile.
"Okay." Shilan said happily, and said to Xueyi: "Sister Xueyi, I'll take you there." ”
Xueyi nodded and followed Shilan out first.
The Fourteenth Master walked over with a smile, and the Ninth Master looked at him and knew what he was going to say.
"Brother Jiu, Yanfu is not shallow, the little girl, the big girl are here, you be careful, there are too many women around, and it's not a good thing." After the Fourteenth Master finished speaking, he left with a smile.
The Ninth Master shook his head and did not refute this sentence.
It's been a long time all of a sudden, winter has come, the weather is very cold and cold, I took a winter warm cloak to Xiao Hai, such a cold weather, I see that Xiao Hai is still practicing calligraphy so seriously in it.
I closed the door after I entered, "Xiaohai, look at the new cloak I made for you." ”
"Sister, this color is so beautiful." Xiao Hai walked over, and I put the cloak on his body and looked at it: "Your skin is relatively white, you must look good in this dark royal blue." ”
I saw that it was about the same, so I took it off and said, "Okay, remember to wear it next time I go out." ”
"Yes." Xiao Hai took off his clothes and put them aside.
I walked over and looked at it, and the handwriting was good: "It's so cold, are you still practicing calligraphy?" ”
"Well, you said that the fourth master's handwriting is good, and I will also write it well, and I will be praised by you." Xiao Hai said firmly.
"Sister waits, but now that it's such a cold weather, you can read first, practice calligraphy and wait for the beginning of spring." I.
"No, the book says, review the old and learn the new, whether you are reading or practicing calligraphy, you must always be diligent and diligent." Xiaohai is like this, hasn't he really become a nerd.
"Well, remember to keep vigil at night and take a nap at noon." I instructed.
"Got it." Xiaohai said happily.
In the evening, we all sat down to eat together, and I saw that Xiaohai and the Thirteenth Master did not come out, so I instructed Xinghai beside me and said, "You go and call the Thirteenth Master and the Young Master." ”
"Yes." After Xinghai went down, he first came to the thirteenth master's house.
"Bang bang bang......" Xinghai knocked on the door. Seeing that there was no reaction inside, Xinghai knocked on the door again: "Thirteenth Master." ”
The Thirteenth Master walked out and asked a little coldly, "Is there any news about Xinyan?" ”
"No, Qiao Fujin invited you to come over for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Luo Xinghai was very sad to see that his former master had become so taciturn.
"Chinese New Year's Eve rice, hum..." The thirteenth master sneered: "I'm alone, I won't go to this Chinese New Year's Eve meal......"
When the Thirteenth Master was about to close the door, Xinghai immediately blocked the door: "Thirteenth Master, you have been frowning for the past few months, at the end of today, have a good time, maybe, you will have good luck in the coming year." ”
The Thirteenth Master looked at Luo Xinghai, but he still closed the door with a "bang", Xinghai didn't force it, so he had to turn around and go to find Xiaohai.
After we all sat down in the lobby, they finally came over, and Xiao Hai saluted very politely: "Fourth master, fourth blessing, sister." ”
"Sit down." The fourth master said.
"Yes." Xiaohai sat down, and when I saw that the Thirteenth Master still hadn't come, I asked, "Where is the Thirteenth Master?" ”
Xinghai shook his head with a calm face.
I could see that the fourth master was also very unhappy, but he had to say, "It's okay, let's eat first." ”
Everyone also ate together, and for the time being, they didn't put the matter of the thirteenth master on their faces.
After eating, I always wanted to come and see the Thirteenth Master, and I came over with a bowl of dumplings.
"Bang bang......" I knocked on his door.
The Thirteenth Master walked over, and I saw that his face was a little flushed after opening the door, and there was still some wine on his body.
"Can I go in?" I asked.
"Come in." The Thirteenth Master walked in without looking at me.
I wasn't upset, so I went in and closed the door.
"I heard that you haven't eaten, so I brought you dumplings." I put the dumplings on the table.
"Are you going to persuade me again?" Thirteen masters.
"No, I'm just here for you to eat and chat by the way." I smiled slightly, if I said it now, wouldn't it be counterproductive. "Don't waste my mind."
The Thirteenth Master glanced at me, but finally came over and sat down. I saw that he was already eating dumplings, so I said, "Our family eats dumplings every Chinese New Year's Eve." When I was young, my father and mother made it themselves, but since I was ten years old, my mother left me, and later, I learned to make dumplings by myself and gave them to my father. ”
"Are you talking about your adoptive father and adoptive mother?" The Thirteenth Master finally spoke.
That's right, I have nominal parents here, so my modern parents are the so-called adoptive father and adoptive mother of the Thirteenth Master.
"That's right." I.
"Why did your mother leave your father?" The thirteenth master looked at the dumplings and asked.
"I don't know, my father said that my mother left us because she had to." I said with a wry smile.
"Then don't you hate him?" The Thirteenth Master looked at me.
"I don't know, I haven't seen my mother in person since then, but my father told me not to resent my mother, because my father doesn't resent my mother." I looked at the Thirteenth Master, but the Thirteenth Master did not speak, and continued to eat with his head down.
"Actually, there are some things I don't know at all, if I know that their so-called reasons are just for themselves, then I will hate my mother, but what if it is not, so I don't care who is right and who is wrong, I believe that one day, they will sue me for reasons." I looked at the Thirteenth Master and should be able to listen to some of my words, so I thought that I could leave, so I said, "I still have to go out to keep the New Year, so I will go first." ”
I bowed briefly, and then exited the Thirteenth Master's room.
Thirteenth Master, I hope you don't be so persistent anymore, after all, she is the person you love.
"Hey, I've been here for so long, and this horseback ride is the most enjoyable thing I've ever done." Xueyi happily rode on the horse.
"You have been out for the past few months, does your brother Wang not care about you?" Ninth Master.
"Is the Ninth Master going to give an eviction order?" Xueyi looked sideways.
"Haha...... Of course not, I'm leaving for the capital this afternoon, do you want to see Shu Qiao? The Ninth Master said.
"I'm not going, I'm almost time to go back." After Xueyi finished speaking, he looked at Shilan who was in the resting place, and was sitting there looking at them, so he asked, "That little sister is the person you like now?" ”
Jiu Ye glanced at it, smiled and said, "He's just a little girl, I treat him as a sister." ”
"Then your sister is really good, she comes to you every day." Xueyi's words are also direct enough.
Jiu Ye just smiled and didn't say much.
"Today, I went to the palace with Shu Qiao to say goodbye to Eniang." The fourth master said to Sifu Jin, who was dressing himself.
"It's okay, my sister hasn't accompanied the fourth master to say hello to Eniang for a long time." Sifujin said very generously.
"Hey, why are you still here?" Xueyi walked over and saw Shilan who was still inside.
Shilan ran over happily, "Sister Xueyi, I've already made tea." Then he looked around and said, "What about Brother Ajiu?" ”
"The ninth master has returned to the capital, let me tell you." Xueyi slowly sat down and drank tea.
"Oh." Shilan sat down in disappointment.
"Shilan, do you like the Ninth Master?" Xueyi kept staring at Shilan.
Shilan is just a child, and when it comes to this kind of thing, she is naturally embarrassed, "No, I treat Jiu Ye as my brother." ”
"Oh, it's good that you don't like the ninth master, the ninth master said that he just treats you as a sister, it seems that I am too careful." Xueyi said this deliberately.
"Actually, I like the Ninth Master very much, my sister Shu Qiao married the Fourth Master, maybe, it won't be long before I will marry the Ninth Master, when the time comes, I will definitely invite you to drink the wedding wine." Xueyi said this sentence with a purpose, he didn't want any more women to appear around the ninth master.
After Xinlan heard this, she felt that she was about to cry: "Then I'll congratulate my sister and Brother Ah Jiu first, I have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”
Seeing Shilan running away, her eyes had turned red, and Xueyi felt that her goal had been achieved, so she chuckled at the corner of her mouth and prepared to leave.
When I came to Concubine De's residence, Concubine De Niangniang had already arranged for someone to prepare breakfast, and the fourth master and I walked over to greet Concubine De.
"E-niang." I.
"E-niang." The fourth master also said politely.
"Well, sit down." After Concubine De finished speaking, we sat on the side: "Breakfast is almost ready, and you can eat it later." ”
I smiled with the fourth master, and heard someone walk out of the door again, it turned out to be the fourteenth master, and there was a woman beside him.
"E-niang." Fourteenth Master.
"E-niang." The woman next to her had a very soft voice, and if she could accompany the Fourteenth Master, it should be the Fourteenth Fujin.
"Sit down." Concubine De smiled happily.
After sitting down, Fourteen Fujin said: "This is Qiao Fujin, this is the first time we have officially met." ”
"This is the Fourteenth Blessing." The fourth master was mentioning it next to him.
I immediately responded: "The first time we met, the gentleness of the Fourteen Fujin really made me unreachable. ”
"In the future, you can be okay, you can move around often." Concubine De said with a smile.
Fourteen Fujin and I both looked at each other and smiled, and nodded.
"A few days ago, I got two statues of Guanyin, and you two have been married for a long time, I hope these two Guanyin will give you some good luck." The subordinates sent Guanyin up to the maids behind us.
However, I saw the fourteenth master smiling quite happily, but why look at me. The fourth master sitting next to him also smiled slightly, seeing that the fourteenth master was so exaggerated, he held my hands, and I suddenly realized something, this is the meaning of Concubine De and let's have a child quickly, I smiled a little embarrassed.
Alas, I finally coped with it, and before I knew it, it was afternoon, and I, a little bored, was ready to go back. (To be continued.) )
